We believe our seating creates an energy within the audience that performers can feed off, a sense of togetherness and shared experience – and that begins when you sit down, so get to know your neighbour, you never know who you might meet.
The best way to keep in the loop with what’s happening and be the first to know about new events and activities is to register for our newsletter.

We’re a dry venue – which means we don’t sell alcohol or allow it on the premises – so we’d ask that you don’t bring any of your own drinks. We do have a tuck shop with lots of tasty treats, and we have tea and coffee available. Make sure you bring some cash as we don’t accept card or mobile payments at the moment.
Because of the nature of our venue, we ask that people arrive on time as once a performance or participation session has started it isn’t possible for us to let people in. We’d suggest arriving ten to fifteen minutes before the time shown on your ticket, and then you’ll have plenty of time to get inside, get a drink or some snacks and enjoy the experience.
